Mock Ecstasy
03:10
|
|||
Is this real life?
The greenest fields rot to the touch
Still you wear a smile through it all
Oh yes, you can have it all
Just keep telling yourself that you already do
And if you don’t have a dream
There are plenty out there for you to borrow
The unreal is ideal
The unreal is yours to fabricate
Even you cannot stomach you
Not one
Not one of them
Not one of them is happy
Oh no, not one
Not one of them
Not one of them is happy
Mock Ecstasy
And when reality comes back
Bury it deep down where no one will find it
Everything will be perfect
Everything will turn out exactly how you planned
Even you cannot stomach you
Watch them compare
Watch them compare (compare)
Not one of them is happy

The Stimulus Gorge
03:02
|
|||
Alive and average
Yearning beyond your needs
Binging... cramming... soaking...
Drooling for more
Unsatisfied
Grinding these hours away
To pay for the few that remain
Binging... cramming... soaking...
Making the most of the little time that we have left
At least we all die fully amused
Until our bones are disposed
Under chiseled stone
A sponge gone dry...
That’s entertainment
Work that takes years to produce
In a flash, all is consumed
Binging... cramming... soaking...
Take it all in, leave nothing to rot on the shelf
Sinner
Benevolent mass sedative
Guilty sinner
Lazy sinner
Benevolent mass sedative
Come inside, nobody will notice
It’s time for your daily hypnosis
Tempted by distraction overflowing
Suffer now; option paralysis
Waste it on me, patron of dust
Fragmented focus and no promises
No wonder our brains turn to sludge
Rotten sinner
Benevolent mass sedative
Guilty sinner
Lazy sinner
Benevolent mass sedative
Come inside, nobody will notice
It’s time for your daily hypnosis
Tempted by distraction overflowing
Suffer now; option paralysis
Waste it on me, patron of dust
Fragmented focus and no promises
No wonder our brains drip out of our well-serviced holes
Observe... the stimulus gorge
Accept... the stimulus gorge
Obey... the stimulus gorge leaves nothing to rot

Vexed Life
04:11
|
|||
Worn down
Smooth to the touch
I stare off, misanthropic
Like a hammer on the nerve
You were right
Wrecked from the start
There’s no reason to feel this way
Keep slaving as it rips you apart
Nothing works here
I’ve been here for years
I stare back clear through the eyes of old
I stare back clear through the eyes of old
I stare back clear through the eyes of old
In this vexed life
I won’t hold my breath until the next misstep
Quick to forget that i’m the lucky one
I can’t see how to do it right
I can’t see how to do it right
I can’t see
All I see, I see it wrong
All I see is wrong
Wrong
In this vexed life

They All Look Away
03:30
|
|||
Do you see me?
Do you see me see you?
I’ve got that new condition
Social leprosy
Out of step, I look at them and then they look away...
(Away, away)
So this is how it feels
To be a leftover part of the past
An obsolete curiosity
A shifting of the norm
It’s not repulsion, just apathy
I’ve got that new stigmata
Mark of the damned
Out of time, I look at them and then they look away...
(Away, away)
It’s just another global infection
Modern eyeball tick
Flesh & blood gag reflex
I’ve got that olde time stench
Avoid at all cost
Out of place, I look at them and then they look away...
(Away, away)
They all look away (x4)

Become An Animal
02:56
|
|||
I don’t know how I ended up out here
Crash course in survival & humiliation
I used to be one of them
Now I’m the next in line to be forgotten
Becoming hard & cold
Turned out, despised & ignored
I’m like you
Breathing the same air
Breathing the same air as you
Become an animal
How much must I endure
These problems that can’t be ignored
I’m like you
Walking the same streets
Walking the same streets as you
Become an animal
Become something less than before
Become an animal
Vagabond purgatory
Vagabond purgatory
Open your eyes in vain
Your derelict status remains
I used to be important to somebody a long time ago
Yes, I’m still here
I’ve mastered survival & humiliation
I was once one of them
A lifetime ago, now long forgotten
Remaining hard & cold
Turned out, despised & ignored
I’m like you
I’m like you
Mount my head on a wall
Mount my head on a wall
Mount my head on a wall
So I can find peace in a warm home again

The Wrong Ones Breed
04:20
|
|||
In the middle of nowhere
Feeling alright
Do it over & over
Until your life is over
Don’t think; just to pass the time
Don’t think; just do it again
Don’t think; just do
Don’t think; just do it, do it, do it, do it...
Flea market lovers on a Saturday night
Cocked & loaded with an urge to fertilize
There’s nothing else to do
Nothing else to do
Nothing else to do
It’s your god-given right in this godforsaken wasteland
We all came to watch the wrong ones breed
Junkyard crawlers gonna send you both to hell
Realize the worst mistake you’ve ever made
Tell me what else can you do?
What else can you do?
What else can you do?
It’s your god-given right in this godforsaken wasteland
Afterbirth trash draws a cloud of flies
Stick around if you have the time
Rise & ride again
Your purpose is to rise & ride again
Your purpose calling
Beyond our finest hour
Survival of the unfit
Beyond our finest hour
Survival of the bored and reckless
Rise & ride again
Your purpose is to rise & ride again
Your purpose is a simple act
Their numbers stack
Watch as we spawn our own extinction
We all came to watch the wrong ones breed

Persistence Award
02:56
|
|||
I take no pride in a persistence award
I take no pride
I take no pride
A flawed logic
A fool’s pledge
You found your love and then you begged it to kill
There will be no ceremony
No lesson learned
Until they take you away
You found your dream and it is yours and yours alone
There will be no second chances
No improvement
Until they take you away
You build your own monument
And you make it over and over and over
The lord of the repeated mistake
Nothing’s sacred
Ego endures
Self-serving effigy, waste of a life but still ego endures
Nothing’s sacred
Ego endures
Self-serving effigy, waste of a life but still ego endures
You build your own monument
You make it over and over and over
The lord of the repeated mistake takes his pride in a persistence award
I take no pride in a persistence award
I take no pride
Yet still I persist

Disposable Hysteria
03:10
|
|||
Nothing left to say
Others speculate
Failure to communicate
Opinionated words decay
Who are the ones that survive?
Whoever hides the longest
Nowhere left to go
Warmed by toxic glow
Suffer vast fevered display
Unrelenting vanity
It just gets worse
I’ll crawl in a ball as they claim to know all
Stare at the wall
Scream at the wall
Vomiting thoughts
Empty your lungs
Disposable hysteria

Blow Off The Omens
04:41
|
|||
Let’s blow off the omens
Let’s burn out as one
Let’s blow off the omens
’Til we all fall apart
Ride it out, ride it out...
Eyes on the line, ignore the signs
Eyes on the line, ignore the signs
Eyes on the line, ignore the signs
Forgetting the result of acceleration
Repeat the wrong imbecile song
Excuses won’t slow the looming termination
We’ve gone too far
Pure ruin not far
Eyes on the line
Ignore the signs
Ignore the signs
You can’t say that we weren't warned
To maintain instead of repair
Limitation test failed
This corpse doesn’t look so good after all
We are members of the slow suicide pact
We are the ones that accept early death
We are the ones that accept early death
